WTF? Why so little? That's insane to me, that's the amount of RAM you get with a mid-range android phone.

Dave Rat, of Rat Sound/RHCP/Bassnectar/etc fame, has some very interesting takes on the wall of sound idea using modern equipment.

The core of it is that speakers are bad at polyphony, so if you can avoid it, you can produce something that sounds more natural to human ears, and do so in a larger area. The way to avoid it is more speakers, more stacks/arrays/etc. You don't necessarily need an array per instrument, because modern loudspeaker arrays are indeed much better than they used to be, and modern loudspeaker processing fixes a multitude of problems.
The errors I'm talking about could be fixed by any fluent speaker.

The screen quality is surely good, but why wouldn't an iPad air or Samsung whatever work just as well for all these use cases?
Also, it seems that you connect a keyboard, a mouse, a game pad and a display... Cool that it works, but that is very far from out of box experience.
Since balanced cables predate the GD, this strikes me as an acoustic implementation of an EE concept. Neat!
As the parent of a 16 year old, I find this discussion fascinating. My son used to love reading books, from when we started with the "Bob Books" in Kindergarten, through somewhere around 5th or 6th grade.

He still loves reading, but mostly for items of topical interest. He does it for fun, to entertain himself, and to learn new things...but it's not books! He scarfs up online content like it's going out of style.

TBH, I had no idea just how much he was reading until I paid attention to how much mispronounced advanced vocabulary he was using, which was a sign of seeing and not hearing the words. The other evidence is just how well he does on crosswords, Wordle, etc. The vocabulary is definitely there.

All of this is to say that the article seems to focus on "books" rather than "content." Are kids not reading for fun, or are they not reading _books_ for fun?
I bought a braided solo loop of theirs and it became stretched out within 5 months. I didn't do anything but take it off my hand each night to charge it. If that's the norm, and the Apple store employee made it seem that way, they shouldn't even sell them.
> This is completely coherent with their privacy-first strategy

How can they have a privacy first strategy when they operate an Ad network and have their Chinese data centers run by state controlled companies?
Likewise with the Apple Watch. It was originally
launched as a "luxury" product,

There was a luxury gold version. The rest were priced at mainstream smartwatch prices.

It's found a niche (but still not mass market appeal)
as a health and fitness device.

Niche? Where do you reside? Greater than 50% market share and > 50 million units sold per year. Anecdotally, they're common to see here in the suburbs of a major American city.

(FWIW, I personally am not a fan of smartwatches and don't own one, so it's not like I'm exactly defending them. Just genuinely puzzled by your take...)

Teachers are leaving the profession en masse because they feel unsafe, unsupported, underpaid, and harassed by national organizations.

Teacher unions list book bans as one of the primary reasons for leaving.
They have data and testimony backing that up. We see legislation and organizations all over America.

Here is a quick article describing the number of books being banned and the effects it has on teachers [1]. It list numbers. There are numerous articles all over the internet from well respected organizations like the NYT saying the same stuff.

The numbers are already presented by them. We see the teachers leaving. We know education is suffering from systematic national pressures from both political sides. Feel free to look it up. hell on first principles, book banning has a direct effect on libraries teachers can have when they include such classics. Again, what numbers do you have? Or just first principles logic to dismiss them at all?

I don't care, and if I were in Congress I'd lean toward keeping AM in vehicles unless the carmakers proved it to be too costly a burden (though the government imposes plenty of costs onto new vehicles already).

Calling someone skeptical of Republican motives a mindless zealot is... Zealous.

If it were midnight and a Republican told me the sky was dark, I wouldn't say it's bright out. But I'd take a peek to check. There is not good faith to be had with that party.

> better for edge AI than whatever is out there, so I'm looking forward to this

What exactly are you expecting? The current hype for AI is large language models. The word 'large' has a certain meaning in that context. Much larger that can fit on your phone. Everyone is going crazy about edge AI, what am I missing?
Yes, but keep in mind that both are funded with specific taxes. We aren't just taking money from the general fund and choosing to support retirees. It's meant to be a "pay while working" "receive in retirement" kind of system. You can argue about the merits of that vs. a 401k or whatever, but comparing these programs to the DoD budget is apples and oranges.
Surely you can solve that by having the occupants sign a waver as part of the rental contract where they wave their rights to be evacuated or rescued in the event of a fire.
I like, and use the term "iced cold brew" for serving cold... not sure about serving cold without ice... In that my first introduction to it, the person would be taking it from a container in the fridge, adding some water and microwaving it to heat it up.

After trying it, I liked it a lot... I always drink coffee over ice (usually with a lot of cream and sweetener), as I'm not so much a coffee fan as a caffeine consumer a few times a month. I like the more mellow taste of cold brew.
I would up vote trying audiobooks.
They are great for traveling, also cleaning up and other chores.
Classic narrators make everything fun to listen to. There are voices for lulling you to sleep. Others to make the stories exciting.
The Harry Potter books have two narrators -they are both great, in different ways.
Lord of the rings is much more fun in audiobook format.
Try to find audiobooks read by Simon Vance, for example - he reads the Master and Commander series, and the original James Bond series.
Have fun.
I don’t know if you can find it running anywhere, but the fox pro database (before the Microsoft acquisition and turning “Visual”) was really easy to use.

> Up to 4 x LPCAMM2 modules depending on the processor.

The non-Pro/Max versions (e.g. M3) uses 128-bits, and arguably is the kind of notebook that mostly needs to be upgraded later since they commonly come with only 8GB of RAM.

Even the Pro versions (e.g. M3 Pro) use up-to 256-bits, that would be 2 x LPCAMM2 modules, that seem plausible.

For the M3 Max in the Macbook Pro, yes, 4 x LPCAMM2 would be impossible (probably). But I think you could have something like the Mac Studio have them, that is arguably also the kind of device that you probably want to increase memory in the future.

Thanks for sharing, this is a refreshingly factual take in contrast to the emotionally-charged rants this topic seems to inspire.
My approach to interviews over the past decade has been as follows:

1. My preparation for an interview involves researching the company, not technical matters. I don't brush up on coding interview questions. I've never done leetcode.

2. If I find the interview questions to be ridiculously off-topic (such as silly algorithm questions), I end the interview. You're not the kind of company I want to work with.

3. If I find the questions to be valid, but I can't answer them, then I'm not the right candidate for the job (hopefully I'd already have found this out during the research phase, but we all make mistakes).

4. If we can get past all this gatekeeping to the actual important topic if what BUSINESS issues they're trying to solve, and how I can fit into this process, then we've got a real interview and I'm interested.

So far I haven't been out of work more than a few months.
Pretty sure they're talking about popping into recent apps. But that isn't the gesture, you just do a short swipe up and hold for a fraction of a second until you feel the haptic buzz.

edit: actually just tried and you can also pull it to the side, but it doesn't feel quite as natural
The fundamental problem with this strategy is model size. I want all my apps to be privacy first with local models, but there is no way they can share models in any kind of coherent way. Especially when good apps are going to fine tune their models. Every app is going to be 3GB+
Copyright applies to the NAMES as trademarks, and the exact program used to reproduce them, but not to the shapes and designs, and yes, I made a lot of changes to that article to reflect current law.

I literally don't give a fck about Intel anymore they are irrelevant

The taiwanese silicon industrial complex deserves our dollars. Their workers are insanely hard working and it shows in its product.
Depends on the pay. If more companies start doing this, then you can imagine having to slog through 10-20 of these as an applicant will increase the time to find a job significantly. Most people don't get hired off of their first successful round of interviews. If the company pays as much as the job salary itself then I am fine with this.
In the UK we have at least one company buying and selling electricity in 30 minute window rates. These windows are published 8 hours ahead based on predicted generation.

With a battery and minimal software, you can buy low, sell high, keep enough for yourself, factor in EV charging, solar generation, etc etc.

Battery pays for itself in 5 years, and with enough takers, the grid gets superb smoothing, delaying the need for central infra upgrades.
My guess is that for the computer it's easier in an artificial wall becasue features are standarized.

Part of the solution should be going to every free library near a school or playground and filling them with a bunch of first books in a series. I know my kids got hooked on looks of books that way
The problem is that "investment firms have a finite purchasing capability" is only true over the long term. (like, "many decades" long) Investment firms have effectively unlimited purchasing capability in the medium term (like, for the next 5 years).

Which is why "just build more housing" isn't really working, because you can't just overbuild human demand (we already do that in lots of cities, especially in the midwest), you'd also have to also outbuild the entire public and private investment appetite for housing, which is effectively unlimited at the moment.
Possibly because they have moved the front camera and the charging no longer works with the old pen.

> This is pretty much everyone's strategy.

I think this is being too charitable on the state of "everyone". It's everyone's goal. Apple is actively achieving that goal, with their many year strategy of in house silicon/features.
We've reached a point where their chips has become so amazing they have to introduce "fake scarcity" and "fake limits" to sell their pro lines, while dividing their customers into haves and havenots, while actively stalling the entire field for the masses.
AI PC is a specific marketing term which Intel is using for their NPU-equipped products where they’re emphasizing low-power AI:

That's a good point. From what I understand, cold brew can be made at room temperature too. So it will need storage but not cold storage. But it's possible I don't have the full picture.

I built and sold a company that does this a year ago. It was hard 2 years ago, but now pretty standard RAG with a good implementation will get you there.

The trick is, healthcare users would complain to no end about determinism. But, these are “below-the-line” user - aka, folks who don’t write checks and the AI is better than them. (I am a pharmacist by training, and plain vanilla GPT4-turbo is better than me).

Don’t really worry about them. The folks who are interested and willing to pay for AI has more practical concerns - like what is my ROI and the implementation like.

Also - folks should be building Baymax from big hero 6 by now (the medical capabilities, not the rocket arm stuff). That’s the next leg up.

I don’t think ragebol meant that the bridge rolls forward with traffic on it. Just that once a 100m long stretch is finished they can roll the bridge 100m forward with the traffic re-routed or suspended during the repositiong.

As someone born poor, who was lucky enough to have a brain that made computer jobs a solid option:

It's great. Going from 20 years of constant stress and scarcity mindset to knowing I could lose my job tomorrow and still sign a new lease without using up all my savings is wonderful. Financial security truly puts perspective on nearly all problems. Minor argument? Who the fuck cares I have a roof over my head. Someone's a jerk? So what, I can get services from someone else, I can afford it. My apartment explodes tomorrow? Oh well, I can put my family up in a hotel until we figure something out. Long term disability? Sucks but we have sufficient runway to figure out how to handle it.

Like, I'm so sick and tired of privileged people pandering, just acting like people suffering needlessly should just be more satisfied with the scraps we leave them.

The vast majority of humans experience all kinds of problems that would literally NOT EXIST with a little more money.

I worked somewhere about 18 years ago that was a TUI for the call center staff, and it kinda made sense. A few keystrokes and the info you needed was there, no "fluff" or clicking around the place, just type in what the customer said, tab, and done.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was still in use now.
Definitely. Though the oxidation seems different? I don't find cold brew to taste "stale" the way hot brewed coffee that's been stored overnight in the refrigerator does.

I have a bunch of kegging equipment that I don't use anymore because I've lost my taste for beer, and I keep wanting to see what happens if I use it to make cold brewed coffee under a bed of CO2.

Also, y'know, coffee on tap at home.

This is a prejudiced take. Running AI tasks locally on the device definitely is a giant improvement for the user experience.

But not only that, Apple CPUs are objectively leagues ahead of their competition in the mobile space. I am still using a IPhone released in 2020 with absolutely no appreciable slow down or losses in perceived performance. Because even a 4 years old IPhone still has specs that don't lag behind by much the equivalent Android phones, I still receive the latest OS updates, and because frankly, Android OS is mess.

If I cared about status, I would have changed my phone already for a new one.
Because the pro used to be the largest iPad with a pencil. Now you can get the air instead and "pen and paper" certainly does not need "pro" performance.

The Big Guide to Hydrogen
I think the author overstates the premise. Yes, there is a tendency for "bad" art to get forgotten and "good" art to be remembered. However, it's not so strong of a tendency that it's wise to rely on it. Plenty of terrible music has survived the ages, and I'd be stunned if at least as much excellent music hasn't been lost to time.

The "darwinian" thesis confuses quality with popularity. Just because something is very popular doesn't mean it's good, and just because something isn't popular doesn't mean it's bad. There is a correlation -- something good is more likely to become popular than not -- but it is a weak one.

Part of the problem is that whether or not a piece of art is good is very subjective. I don't think it's really possible to say objectively whether or not any given piece of art is good or bad. You can only say if you like it or not.

I prefer to talk about art as "successful" and "unsuccessful". If a piece of art makes me feel something the artist intended for me to feel, it was successful, otherwise it was not. That, too, is subjective of course: what resonates with me may not resonate with you. But at least it isn't trying to characterize the aesthetics itself.

"Among a representative sample of Dutch people, for example, Robeyns and her team found that nine out of ten respondents agreed that having wealth exceeding €4 million for a family of four — in terms of ownership of certain assets, such as a mansion, a second home, luxury vehicles and a specific amount of savings — qualifies as being super-rich. In low-income countries, that threshold could be much lower."

Interesting to learn that limitarianism is an ideology that respects national borders.
Thinking Forth. It's one of the few nonfiction books I've actually read completely, let alone revisited.
